Beyond our expectations - This was an experience like no other. It was probably one of my husbands favorite parts of the trip. Without our guide Mauricio it just would have not been the same. He made it such a wonderful experience and took the time to explain so much of the history, answer questions, and allowed us to take to time to do some shopping as well as take in and enjoy the beautiful people and culture.

Mauricio is awesome - We enjoyed hanging out with Mauricio so much on our half-day Comuna 13 tour that we also hung out with him on our second and third days in Medellin. I highly recommend Mauricio because our trip to Medellin was so much richer than it would have been if we tried to get around by ourselves. We loved all of the insider-only connections he has, and all the warm hospitality at our various stops. There’s so much to do inside the city and in the surrounding areas, and Mauricio does a great job customizing tours for the audience for coffee, Pablo, eco-adventure, art, neighborhoods and more.
